The carrier is the last major U.S. network to finally offer Apple's smartphones, but today's announcement is more than another product being added to a company's stable. Instead, T-Mobile will sell the iPhone 5 under a unique payment system.</p><p><a href="http://newsroom.t-mobile.com/articles/t-mobile-unleashes-iphone-5" target="_blank">T-Mobile announced its plans</a> to begin selling the iPhone 5 on April 12 during a press event. Furthermore, <a href="http://www.maclife.com/article/news/tmobile_reportedly_picking_iphone_5_and_4g_lte_network_tomorrow" target="_blank">as previously mentioned</a>, T-Mobile will offer its own 4G LTE network to support the new devices. For years, T-Mobile subscribers have been forced to use unlocked iPhone units, and then to connect to T-Mobile's 4G HSPA network.</p><p>Essentially, the T-Mobile iPhone 5 is the exact same model every other carrier received half a year ago. But T-Mobile will offer the 16GB iPhone 5 for $99 upfront, with 24 subsequent monthly payments of $20 each. Alternatively, you can pay for the iPhone entirely at the time of purchase.&nbsp;</p><p>If you do pay for the iPhone 5 completely, you can enjoy a no-contract, <a href="http://www.maclife.com/article/news/tmobiles_new_rate_plans_already_live_ahead_tuesday_event" target="_blank">"UNcarrier" plan from T-Mobile</a>. And even the payment plan option doesn't incur a contract, in regards to wireless service. The agreement is specifically intended to pay the device off. While T-Mobile may be a bit late to the Apple party, the company has managed to offer a unique alternative in regards to plans.</p><p>&nbsp;</p><div><em>Follow this article's author, <a href="http://www.twitter.com/clarkmatt" target="_blank">Matt Clark, on Twitter</a>.&nbsp;</em></div><p>&nbsp;</p>http://www.maclife.com/article/news/iphone_5_available_tmobile_april_12_99_down#commentsNewsiphoneiphone 5T-Mobilet-mobile 4g lteTue, 26 Mar 2013 21:07:11 +0000Matt Clark16583 at http://www.maclife.comT-Mobile Reportedly Picking Up iPhone 5 and 4G LTE Network Tomorrowhttp://www.maclife.com/article/news/tmobile_reportedly_picking_iphone_5_and_4g_lte_network_tomorrow
<!--paging_filter--><p class="p1">T-Mobile is holding its event tomorrow, but details are already leaking out all over the place. While there's been some mention of the company's new "UNcarrier" pricing plans, a source now says T-Mobile will finally offer the iPhone directly, instead of requiring unlocked models. And moreover, your T-Mobile iPhone can take advantage of a 4G LTE network starting tomorrow.</p> <p class="p2"><a href="http://news.cnet.com/8301-13579_3-57576223-37/t-mobile-will-talk-iphone-at-tomorrows-event/" target="_blank">Speaking to CNET</a>, a source "familiar with launch plans" says the carrier will use its new iPhone offerings as a centerpiece of tomorrow's event. T-Mobile is the last major cellular carrier to jump on the Apple train -- the last by quite a margin, actually.&nbsp;</p><p class="p2" style="text-align: center;"><img src="/files/u323900/tmobileiphone5.png" alt="T-Mobile iPhone 5" /></p> <p class="p2"><a href="http://www.maclife.com/article/news/tmobiles_new_rate_plans_already_live_ahead_tuesday_event" target="_blank">Earlier on Monday</a>, it was revealed T-Mobile's new plans -- <a href="http://www.maclife.com/article/news/tmobiles_uncarrier_pricing_leaked_ahead_march_26_event" target="_blank">part of a new "UNcarrier" marketing push, leaked last week</a> -- were already available online. The plans, which look incredibly decent at first glance, start at 500MB of 4G data, unlimited calls, and unlimited text for $50 a month. Comparatively, the plans look very attractive when balanced against AT&amp;T's Mobile Share options.</p> <p class="p2">The CNET source also stated the T-Mobile 4G LTE network could go live tomorrow, which should gel nicely with the carrier's new plans to sell the iPhone 5. While the LTE network should be available after the event, an exact date for the T-Mobile iPhone models is unknown.</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p><em>Follow this article's author, <a href="http://www.twitter.com/clarkmatt" target="_blank">Matt Clark, on Twitter</a>.</em></p>http://www.maclife.com/article/news/tmobile_reportedly_picking_iphone_5_and_4g_lte_network_tomorrow#commentsNewsiphoneiphone 5T-Mobilet-mobile 4g lteUNcarrierMon, 25 Mar 2013 22:35:04 +0000Matt Clark16573 at http://www.maclife.com
